They just flat out pay for them

Give the gift of a life determined by the person who lives it—fund an abortion today. The National Network of Abortion Funds pays for women to have abortions they couldn’t otherwise afford. That’s right. They don’t “raise awareness,” or “help women with the very difficult life choices that these issues raise,” or any of that happy-pappy bullshit designed to avoid saying “having an abortion is a very good thing if you want one.”

Donate to honor Dr. George Tiller, killed for helping women

The day that Dr. Tiller was assassinated, the National Network of Abortion Funds received many phone calls and emails from women who had seen Dr. Tiller, from his former colleagues, from his friends, all asking us to do something. We answered by creating the George Tiller Memorial Abortion Fund to celebrate the legacy and life of this man who believed above all in honoring women’s lives and futures. And on the very next day at the office, we received a donation from Dr. Tiller himself, mailed on the Friday before his death.

Since that day, the George Tiller Memorial Abortion Fund has been providing assistance to women who face the highest obstacles to abortion care, including those who must travel thousands of miles just to get the care that they need. Through the George Tiller Memorial Abortion Fund, and through you, Dr. Tiller’s legacy lives on.

Donate to the George Tiller Memorial Abortion Fund at the National Network for Abortion Funds and show you’re willing to take a stand—no matter how outrageous the attacks become.

In 1993, 22 abortion funds established the National Network of Abortion Funds to create opportunities for the funds to share their work, to learn from each other, and to support each other across the country. Today we have abortion funds in communities throughout the United States and the world.

And while you’re at it, chip in a bit to Women’s Medical Fund, which does the same thing. I can afford an abortion, and don’t need one, so I’m happy to send money to pay for women who can’t afford them and do need them.

I have just initiated a new personal tradition. Whenever one of my friends or acquaintances has a child, I’ll donate $100. I loathe children; so perhaps I can bring myself back into emotional balance whenever someone expects me to coo over their little frogspawn.

I do some minor technical support* for the Kentucky Health Justice Network, who are one of the organizations benefiting from the umbrella of NNAF. Kentucky has gotten pretty bad in terms of access these days, with only one full-service clinic in Louisville, and a limited-service clinic in Lexington. They get their admin funding done via grant (some from NNAF, I believe), and absolutely 100% of their donations received goes to travel, lodging, and procedure costs.

This ends this shameless plug for people I love, who do really good work. I hope it’s not too spammy.

* one of these days I’ll find the time to port their web content over to khjn.org… I swear. I’m tired of typing out that whole thing.
